Interesting analysis of lasy year's RBR vs Merc, possibly carried over in the 2024 cars?

More on the Qiddiya circuit
If the shot of that ramped corner at the end of the video is true then the design will never pass homologation on safety grounds. Hit that barrier and you will be launched into space............[/MEDIA]

This is insane, I love it. If we're going to have oil money tracks then THIS is what they should look like.

Nah it will be fine, same issue Monaco had where in the old days you'd end up in the harbour if you ran wide. Just fix it with some run off, SAFER barriers and strong catchfencing.

Indycars run at Indianapolis over 384KMH. It's not the track that's unsafe, it's that you cant use F1 tyres on such a banking.
Monza issue is the same with the tyres but also visibility, the banked areas are tiny in the forest with no visibility versus a wide field of view in Indianapolis. F1 could easily run at Indy if they had tyres developed for it.
The runoff looks just fine in the elevated corner, similar to Abu Dhabi and Bahrain. If you didn't see that it was artificially elevated, people wouldn't question the runoff.
Infact some F1 tracks look worse and have run fine with modern safety standards.
And also, people say Kyalami is fine for F1. Have people seen the last corner?
But it's safe because of some runoffs and catchfencing, just like Qiddiya would be...

F1's unpopular penalty for overtaking off track has changed: https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/unpopular-f1-penalty-overtaking-off-track-changed/
"Formula 1 drivers who gain an advantage by going off track will receive a different punishment to the unpopular and insufficient five-second penalty that had become standard.
FIA stewards have a wide range of potential penalties they may impose on a driver that is involved in an incident but there has been a tendency to default to the same five-second time penalty for a range of infringements.
This must either be served at the driver’s next pitstop or is added to their race time should the driver not come into the pits again after receiving the penalty, and it is often considered an insufficient punishment.
Many drivers and observers feel that it is too easy to recover from or offset that penalty, especially when it concerns a driver in a faster car who has committed an offence against one in a slower car.
For this season, one specific example will change, as a 10-second penalty is set to be imposed should a driver go off track to gain a position. ..."

It’s an improvement over the 25 seconds they gave Hamilton when they robbed him of his first WC.

Looks like Jos was probably saying what Max thinks about the issue with Horner after all @Mike Hoxbig
He also mentions he and Jos speak everyday so it is unlikely that Jos just said what he did without consulting Max first.

Max Verstappen backs father Jos after criticism of Red Bull chief Horner
Max Verstappen stood by his father Jos, saying ‘he is not a liar’ following his explosive claim that Red Bull could explode if Christian Horner remains as team principal

Jos Verstappen was a serial abuser, it’s not a huge leap to think he also abused Max as a child and therefore there will be the possibility of a psychological barrier to Max contradicting or opposing what Jos says.

Yeah that doesn't mean that Jos is saying what Max thinks, it means Max is backing his father for whatever reason.Looks like Jos was probably saying what Max thinks about the issue with Horner after all @Mike Hoxbig

Every kid looks up to their father, abusive or not. One day Max's testicles will drop...

It's pretty obvious, I mean Max has never praised Horner since the start of the whole scandal which he can do and which will not contravene RB policy. I guess some desperately hope he and Horner stay together.
